Osinachi
Rewriting the Rules of African Art through Crypto
Osinachi, a Nigerian digital artist, is widely recognised as one of Africa’s first crypto-art pioneers. Working primarily with Microsoft Word as his canvas, he crafts vivid, symbolic artworks that explore gender, identity, post-colonialism, and the Black experience. His rise within the NFT space marks a radical shift—placing African art at the forefront of digital ownership and decentralised creativity.
Osinachi's success in global crypto-art markets has not only challenged traditional Western art gatekeeping but also opened up new, decentralised avenues for African artists to earn, distribute, and own their work. His presence affirms that the future of African creativity lies not only in tradition, but in fearless experimentation and digital sovereignty.
